10x 10 x 10 ft cube house.

[NCHollop]

Not bad if your 4' or less. Or else if you sleep in the fetal position.

[TheRebornDollShow]

I love this! I'm always fascinated by small architecture and this is fantastic! I would love to live in a cube!

[Theonlyuberpickle]

Want want want want want want

[varer]

no day by day carbon output, however everything that it was made of, was made by high carbon output industries

[cruhg]

im homeless living in my car right now. this house is a dream compared to how im currently living

[Peskey2010]

Great video.  Thanks!

[Gell1welt69]

Well the main question would be how much?

[413213214]

window next to shower, neighbours get strip show

[CtrlAltDft]

It must be awkward when a guest wants to use the bathroom.

[ArcTempestGod]

I keep throwing my money at the screen but my room isn't turning into one of these D:

[nstrike999]

how much ?

[twnky1]

finally a cure for homelessness...

[hatinabox1234]

people need to remember that this was designed by students for a class...not a licensed architect

[Jadenstar28]

why in the hell would anybody wanna live in that. There small and then there is jail cell small. I for one want room to actually move in my house

[ajregester]

Unbelievable - I just got lost in a 10 foot cube!

[lordzahgurim]

Been looking at a lot of 'tiny house' videos, this is one of the worst.

Hell, the all open area(no furniture except a couch, video projector and 7ft wide screen) area in my current plan is almost as big as that whole house.(my current design is 8ft wide, 30ft long, 12/13ft high, with 2 8ft slide outs, and 2 lofts(one bedroom, one storage))...And seriously, what is with everyone in these tiny houses being so obsessed with 'compost toilets, off the grid is fine for power, but that cant be healthy.

[pktuntunwala]

After this gentleman filmed this video, he went home to his own little cube home. He started cooking dinner when he noticed he had to use his bathroom just a hop away. After taking his shit, the methane buildup was so large, the gas burner next to the toilet cooking his soup blew up his entire home. Tragically, he died later of his wounds.

[ferdonandebull]

This is terrible. You know travel trailers have evolved like boats to space efficient and comfortable spaces. Maybe this guy should have looked at a couple...I take it this was some kind of government grant to a college type deal.....

[70clint]

The idea of the stairs in the center of the cube takes away too much space. If you used a single ladder design, it would make the lounge area bigger.

[338888]

the architect who designed this building is creative but not a true minimalist. Living in that small cube need some real imagination. I recommend them to watch some youtube video 1st to get an idea how a real person lives in a small space. Composing toilet in poor ventilated space, really? and a kitchen next to my bed?

[grannynara]

This cube looks very uncomfortable, no character. No color, no windows. Older people would have a hard time getting around inside this thing. Only for youngsters, and shorter people. Also, cupboards look on the "cheap" side..how long before this "cube" needs repair?

[trixia081]

wonder why the camera man focus the camera more on the guy talking than the cube or the features of the house.. wierd

[magneziful]

This is one of the most bland small houses I've seen. There's so much inefficiency.... you'll have to climb down strange stairs just to eat your food in the dining room...you'll have to air out your kitchen before you go to bed...

honestly, they could make this much more efficient with drop down stairs, or at least bookshelves implanted in the stairs, a futon, solar panels on the roof, less room for the toilet (honestly, it seems that the toilet itself is a 10 by 10 space)

This cube is a joke.

[sergiusz1000]

how much is it ?

[via321ful]

@Winokemon Oh, thank you!

[thebaseballcardguru]

Easiest search warrant to execute ever.

[titledleee]

duh fuck?! how u supposed 2 have sex on a 4 foot bed?!

[HeavensMeat]

@titledlee You're not, preventing birth in turn reduces your carbon footprint--think of it as a Malthusian check. :)

[sumiji888]

the stairs look like they are very hard to walk down...

[troybv6]

It's a perfect example of great on paper, but rubbish in the real world.

[Warkhan]

After the presentation, the guy went to his 6 bedroom, 3 bath, triple garage home and had a nice dumb into his high pressure exotic marble toilet before sliding into his 10x10x10 kind size bed.

[via321ful]

did he say 4 ft bed??!?!

[Winokemon]

@via321ful

It's 4 feet wide. Used to be called a 3/4 in Canada. You can squeeze two adults on it as long as one is not a lumberjack.

[CJEChurchill]

so how much would it cost to buy?

[demonhorizon]

anyone any idea how much the full solar panel set up costs?...just the roor and southwall.

[jimbronaugh]

The table is way too big and should be a fold down from the outer wall. The kitchen should be in the tool cabinet (it would take about a day to get sick of the up and down with a cup in your hand). The stairs violate every concept of human safety.Limbs will be broken. The space saving is not saving if there is nothing done with the space. Good concept, but some of it needs to be rethought.

[Epicsound124]

Jesus Christ!

I wouldn't want to roll out of bed!!!

Cool Idea

[MeXLaura27]

Im a big person, so this would not work for me

[low72]

I would totally ruin my face walking shitfaced down those stairs

[CalsipherCosmonauta]

I feel claustrophobic just watching this..

[Iciebleu]

I want one. So much. I hate large living spaces.

[NotADood]

How much?

[jooble]

A mixture of wool and nettle fibres, hahahahaha

[Fwuzeem]

Wide angle lens next time please

[jamesdevlin2002]

Can I have one

[KatiushaVN4]

Don't like this house. Not a smart design

[KatiushaVN4]

Table is too high to the chair down below

[Khranok]

Lets just hope you don't own any possessions to keep in this thing. Want a garage, bbq, computer... ANY luxuries other than a TV and lets not forget... A family, well... Screw you xD

Neat idea but no good for anyone other than a mobile home for workmen maybe.

[thebaseballcardguru]

I WANT.

[EyeHi]

Unless this guy is 4 ft tall, how can this guy stand up with head clearance on each of the two floors if the total height including the 2nd floor landing is 10 ft...

[anonomisW]

gonna buy one of these for my mansion!

[aaronre]

how are there 2 floors in a 10-foot-tall building?

[Czich94]

3x3x3, thats the same size as my room!!!

[sniperd0g]

i would go insane being in that for longer than 5min

[Pandagat9]

i don't think that people should live in cubes, there are already plenty of disused buildings that could be refurbished and rebuilt to house people, i also don't like the idea of being confined to 3x3x3 meters, also i don't want my kitchen to be essentially the same room as my bedroom.

[TheBigKiller]

Perfect home for a midget. 

[youboon]

Cool idea. But I don't much fancy living in a room where my shit rots 6ft away from me, with no way to flush it. There's being carbon neutral, then there's being gross.

[BooGooNFlowoo4Evoo]

@youboon Yeah a composting toilet probably smells none too good.

[failingsense1999]

@BooGooNFlowoo4Evoo Actually modern high end composting toilets do a very good job of not smelling but cost around 3k. It's the ones hippies make for 100 bucks that give them a rather smelly reputation, the actual waste usually sits in a vacuum chamber below the toilet sometimes outside sometimes even buried.

[BooGooNFlowoo4Evoo]

@failingsense1999 Hippies seem to give a bad name to everything. I've not given up on the idea, but I'd like to see what one smells like after six months to a year. If most of the parts are made of plastic, probably not very well--plastic has a knack for absorbing strong odors. However, what concerns me the most is improperly composted waste going out into an improperly lined receptacle, especially if your or your neighbors have off-grid water. Then, you have disease to worry about.

[BooGooNFlowoo4Evoo]

Off-grid loses its allure when you find out your toilet has a 100-year pay-off time, at best. We need an answer that doesn't cost much more to install and use than a traditional toilet.

[lavenderdawnstar]

@youboon maybe you could learn a little more about composting toilets...

[TheOfficialKarstondh]

@youboon It is possible to put in a small RV style flushable toilet

[nycrackhead]

Wtf are these "meters" you speak of?

[eukbos]

@nycrackhead It's the measure method used in europe

[eukbos]

@eukbos and some of the africa countries too

[SSj5Bob]

@nycrackhead

It's a measure of distance that pretty much the entirity of the civilized world uses.

[EddieLolz3r]

Where can i put my rig D:

[RandomCoked]

I would consider it if it were made entirely of plexiglass.

[shadowvyco]

MINECRAFT !!!! *-*

[scorpionjak]

I'd live in there.

[c33r0k33]

Absolutely fantastic! Compared to the single level 64sq ft apt for a family of four in Taiwan I've seen, this is very smart design and basically zero energy. Multiple levels give the sensation of space, similar to how designers can draw up 5,000 and more square foot homes to give rooms sensations of intimacy. Perception manipulation. Dr. Mike moderates the compactness of the home. I'd like to read the results of participants who live in the cube.

[queenrosie88]

The camera person kept focusing on the host instead of the house. :/

[bleedingheart12009]

@Nothaut I think he meant width, not length, though I'm not sure.

[blackrosemaster12]

this house was made by a minecraft player.... I'm certain about that lol

[twtilla2011]

superlike it!!!!how nuch does it cost?

[CoolKat07]

Hey loook a home fit for a wiget...I mean miget. Sorry bad hobbit...I mean habbit.  ;-) ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!

[Nothaut]

Did he say a "4 foot bed"?

The eco-friendly future is a grim, cramped one.

[elcabrachupas]

What if u travel and have luggage lol where can you put the xbox, or a desktop computer, what if you want to eat a turkey :O

[suiseismologic]

The bed is next to the kitchen? I'm almost crying how perfect it is for her.

[NotADood]

@suiseismologic very original

[gibbo1112]

I like the lineup of cars behind it, rangerover, porche cayenne, touareg, sports car...

Im sure you can see what i am getting at...

[Blobface07]

Minecraft much...

[pohablabla]

Interesting and sh!t, but Im sure that the bald one lives in some kind of mansion

[Hogtowner]

That seems supper. I wonder if, for those of us wanting a bot more space, they could make a18 X 18 X 9 meter rectangle home?

[ChickityChoice]

How much does it cost to build? Own?

[Bfavrestarr415]

Anyone else see a lion's face in the wood pattern from 2:34-2:40? lol

[blanknot]

I have a feeling this will never catch on.

[Eaglesfaninca]

@blanknot I'd live in one.

[sybaris1]

who the hell would want to live in that ? I bet that guy talking about it has a massive house somewhere the size of a small country....

[LyricalWax]

@sybaris1 true, although it seems like more of an experiment if anything. the 'stairs' are a bit bonkers, and I can imagine 2 people slowly going crazy living in that confined space.

[sybaris1]

@LyricalWax There is no way 2 people could live there together, You need space even from your partner and there simply is non in that place. Also dod you see an oven in the kitchen because IIRC there is a hob and nothing else. So its lots of soup/stirfrys/beans for tea...

[LyricalWax]

@sybaris1 Well there are some people who hardly spend any time home, due to mainly being at work or going out, literally only coming back to go to sleep/shower/eat. If it was really cheap rent and a young couple/students wanted to rent temporarily, almost like a cheap hotel, then I think some people would take it up.

[loulozza98]

Can you like test one for a week/fortnight or month or something or can you but one Im not sure about buying but I really wanna test one

[RootGinger]

First thing I noticed is that the door handle is installed upside down. Why is the lock at the top? Then I realised that those doors have left and right hand versions because of the way the locking mechanism works on this type of door. They ordered the wrong door then had to flip it upside down so it would open without out hitting the handle on the steps.

[Breanna26622]

That's so cool I so want 1!!! :)

[kirkstockdale]

What is he on about when he talks about the feed-in-tarrif? You've gotta be kidding me that the gov are charging 1000 pounds a year for the privalage of saving the enviroment. Is there anything those tossers wont add tax to.

[LyricalWax]

@kirkstockdale no, the govt. pays you £1000 a year for generating that much electricity as you will never use that much so it is exported to the Grid.

[Sanbika89]

If that costs more than 1000 USD to own outright it's not worth it XD

[LyricalWax]

@Sanbika89 the appliances alone would be worth far more than $1000, well over here anyway.

[Sanbika89]

@LyricalWax True enough lol

[PackablePeanutbutter]

where can i buy one?

[KisameItachi]

Nice bed for a guy who is 6'1.

[jamieo01]

@KisameItachi The bed is over 6 ft long

[KisameItachi]

@jamieo01 It said 4 ft :o

[AlexanderLee1]

that is horrible. It would be ridiculous to sacrifice yourself by living in that medieval shack.

[ntfenell43]

no room to hang ones self, if'n you were to go completely mad in that tiny cube

[TehWinnerz]

I think I saw this thing on Cribs

[SerenafromLaBrea]

that is pretty incredible. I kinda want one now, and decorate it like a doll house <3

[s9h9a9n9e9]

Homeless Housing? I think so. Privacy at low cost.

[gmfastburn]

holy crap that's horrible.

[djl5080]

i would definitely buy that

[DaveElectric]

Brilliantly stupid. The living spaces in 1984 are better than this. 

[p3anut1997]

it has all the things that a human being needs

i would live in it

:DD

the only thing i dont like are the " STAIRS OF DOOM"

[dcool96]

Cube Tipping!!!

[DanBlabbers]

How much does one cost?

[TheInkBlott]

If you liked the car after the horse and buggy just wait until you see what we have done to revolutionize the closet

[kaboomjones]

a few things come to mind and make me uninterested in this: privacy? guests? parties? good, rough sex? single-person living? comfort watching tv? safe cooking? LOTS of clothing storage?

in addition: elderly access? disabled access?

this is an ideal living space for an ideal, nonexistent demographic of people. you'd have to be an introverted single person who has a big TV.

[Wallylex]

@kaboomjones

I'm all for downsizing and reducing consumption too, but I was wondering (most of) those very same things. I AM an introverted person, but I couldn't fathom living in such a small space. I think this 'could' work for somebody who spends most of their time outside and only comes home for sleeping.

[CollinsWeissCollins]

Looks like something dreamed up during one of the Unabomber's wet dreams.

[stellaone23]

i'm all for downsizing in living space and being off-grid someday, but i have a problem with cooking opposite my bed. the stairs are a nightmare, not to mention that there is a huge window right outside your shower, and between the toilet and the shower. so the light that the window allows is gone as soon as you cover it for privacy. i didn't happen to see a sink near the toilet, so does one wash one's hands in the shower?

[risadageral]

@stellaone23 You wash your hands in the kitchen' sink, i suppose

[nonoctave]

What a nightmare. I don't know how much this thing costs, but I can build a house that is 4 times as big, for 1/2 the price and which uses less energy and produces less toxic waste in its manufacture.

[TerraAustralis100]

@nonoctave If you don't know the price how do you know you can do that?

[KataVideo]

Looks like a living hell.

[benpva16]

Those staircases are accidents waiting to happen, I'm afraid.

[DeathRazR]

i bet the TV is more expensive than the house.

[Sammonoske]

Think I would go insane with it being so small, claustrophobic even.

[elmaschingon142006]

I can see us tall people weren't considered in the design of this living unit

[jesuisunique1]

@elmaschingon142006 yes but if you're like most tall people - then trains and cars aren't made with you in mind as well...

[RtdXyron]

This is actually brilliant...

[Spartan117FS]

So you cook upstairs, then spill your hot coffee when going down the stairs?

[cjlouis1029]

the design can be adjusted by architects..like the bed can be remade to be 7 feet by removing the storage space..this can solve homelessness!

[NoneNameAvailable]

so u can shit while cooking and eat right on the toilet seat........or u can shit and accidentaly fall down the stairs with a big crap coming out of your ass.......seriously now how the f#$^ would live in that thing?

[jameilar81]

@NoneNameAvailable LMFAO!!!

[NoneNameAvailable]

@jameilar81 i thought it was funny to but nobody gave it thumbs up:/

[TenaciousDougie]

That's pretty cool. Wouldn't mind one of them for T in the Park.

But the phrase "Don't shit where you eat" springs to mind.

[randomfriendlyguy]

i wouldnt be able to live without a toilet that doesnt flush :(

[TheBerkezor]

Anyone thinking of a hot-box?

[RareAirSupply]

Does it shift every 15 minutes, or is it a hypercube?

[columbiaunited2]

looks cozy

[uoleppi1]

How am I supposed to climb those stairs while drunk?

[Relicas2]

yeah... a kitchen next to the bathroom... and a bed next to the bathroom... k.. what about the window next to the place you shit and shower?... not thought through is it...?

[ih8nubsathalo3]

i could live in that

[reaGEEring]

porche

[FallenKingKong]

4:30 Black Ferrari?

[IxUNTOUCHBLExI]

@FallenKingKong Porsche

[mattbt2k0]

ah yes, but is it drunkproof? I THINK NOT!

[RicardoEstevesMusic]

That bed is midget size.

[RicardoEstevesMusic]

Yeah, but will it blend?

[JeBoyTissaProduction]

and where to jerk off?

[mrpickles619]

I wanna go camping with this thing!

[lizziecrowe]

@mrpickles619 I would LOVE to camp with this. This thing would fit on a solidly-build trainer with hitch, perfect for RVing! I love this whole idea!

[nonginger]

I WANT ONE!

[123BDG123]

As long as I don't have any clothes, no food or kitchen utensils to store or actually need a place to sleep, it's wonderful. I suppose they will market it as a solitary confinement cube to the prison system. You don't need to force people to live in caves to be green. This conservation movement by liberal idiots has now officially gone mad. They are as bad as the right wing kooks.

[Ryichard]

i wanna see the house in 3d , not the man talking -.-

[P4p3RM4n]

Thats a big window next to the shower :3

[baldrickthefifth]

ugent did it first and better :D

[DonBugatti]

I WANNA LIVE IN IT!!! :O

[TheGeckOH]

When I move out I want this. Its perfect.

[TheKikitoSan]

That thing would be a pleasure to clean! It's gonna take no more than 10 mins for the whole cube :D

[thevideosthatyoulove]

Why not a 12 x 12 x 12 house, the extra 2 feet would make so much more of a difference.

[ZazinPredator]

...although i am 6'4 ...

[ZazinPredator]

OHHHH How much is this thing to buy???? I could easily live in this!

do the flowers come with it??

[blackheartstk]

Why design an Eco cube that takes up so much space but has as much use as a caravan! Also one big obvious flaw that the designers seems to have over looked, ventilation! One curry too many and you have an automatic curry house smell right next to your bed!

[mista808]

I had one of these in the backyard when I was a kid. It was in the tree.

[bjonyou]

But will it blend?

[Mastriota]

They should lock closterphobic criminals in these

[IndependenThoughts]

Looks great, but in the end what is the price??

[CRonoldo7]

Looks like my old tree house

[EvilMelzy666]

i have too much crap for a place that small.. but its very cute
